Duck breed help!

[kenzie_b]

Hey yall! I recently got 2 pet ducks. One I rescued from the wild that was all alone and hurt and the other is a store bought pekin. I am not sure what breed of duck this is, so please help me identify!

You can't tell by just looking at them yet. How old are they? At around 6 weeks you can start to tell by their voice. Females are very chatty and will make the distinctive quack quack sound. Males have a will have a quiet raspy voice.

They are probably around 4 or 5 weeks. The pekin is very chatty and the chirp is starting to get a quack sound and the other one makes no noise.

You may have a pair then. As far as its breed, where are you located?

He doesn't match any of your native wild species. It's likely he's a Muscovy then, which would explain why he doesn't make much noise.
